This high performance white grease from Harken helps extend the life of your boat winch by keeping salt out of the working parts. Flushing your boat winch frequently with fresh water, checking pawls and springs, bearings, gears, and spindles for signs of wear and corrosion is a great way to keep it clean and operating smoothly.
Harken recommended that you service your winches at least once during the pre-season, or twice if you regularly sail in salt water. If you race, you may want to maintain your winches before every regatta.
